First of thank you all for this forum. I already learned some things i didnt know about.

To my Story:

My Wife (U.S Citizen) & I (Swiss Citizen) are since almost 8 years in a relationship. I go over to visit her every summer and sometimes in winter. Long story short, as often as we can afford. I visited 9 times so far, and this comming winter will be the 10th time. I mostly stay 10 Weeks +/-. Never over 90days.

This past summer we got married shortly before i went back to Switzerland. We where thinking thats the right thing to do, and then file CR-1. But after reading here a bit, now im just confused.

Another thing about this new 90 days rule you mentioned in another post geowrian.

This confused me a bit. Is this something i have to worry about?

AOS isn't a visa. It's handled by USCIS. Visas are handled by the embassies, which are under DOS.

The new rule regarding preconceived intent is a DOS rule, and is not adopted by USCIS at this time (and doing so would be difficult due to past court cases). Technically, due to this change, going for a CR-1 visa after marrying within 90 days would be more difficult now. Some background info for others not familiar with the change:

The exact guidelines on how this will be implemented are not known yet...my understanding is that it just means the CO at the embassy can consider if you committed misrepresentation at POE by entering with immigrant intent. Unfortunately, I don't have any info on what level of impact it will have.

If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't worry about it...being able to consider it is a far stretch from making a misrepresentation. You have visited many times in the past and it doesn't appear that they would have any reason to believe you made a misrepresentation...you're allowed to marry on VWP fine, and spouses usually want to be together in the same country later. There's nothing unusual here IMO.
